I finally had a way of making the server crash every time.
do a "make world" om 3.2-R.....
A so goes the story of grandfathers axe:
("Grandfather axe.... replaced the handle a few times, then the head, but it
was still grandfathers axe")
Good old fashioned repairs....
0. I updated to 3.2-S ... 26 May 1999
1. I replaced the RAM.
2. I replaced the Motherboard.
3. I replaced the SCSI-UW controller.
4. I replaced the Video Card.
5. I replaced the all the Hard Disks.
6. I replaced the Network cards.
What's left?.... ahhhhh ... replaced the Floppy... then the
CD-ROM....unplugged the
tape... replaced.... all the cables... finally the power supply!
Each time I ran "make world", I could still crash it!
What next.....the case?
NOPE!......
7. I replaced the both CPU's.......... WTF#!
NO CRASH!
Well that must be it then... FreeBSD has blown the guts out of my INTEL PII
333
Processor....Too quick for it. {:-)
....... and before anybody says, "The processor must be getting too hot?" It
was not getting too hot!
Maybe Intel should use FreeBSD to test/rate CPU's?
(Isn't it a rumour that Intel only make one PII CPU and just rate them!)
I'M HAPPY NOW!!
Oh yes ....
[Q] How stable is FreeBSD?
[A] Very Stable!
And a special thanks to
Mark Blackman <tmb@rcru.rl.ac.uk>
for his idea of old fashioned hardware diagnosis.
One last thing; To those users that may be having problems with their FBSD
installs on a more current version
Greg
